That makes a hole lotta sense, donut?

You’re my hole reason for living.

You’re my Tim Bit.

With a hole, you are whole no more.

You make me whole, kid.

Or, inner child maybe..

who’s the daddy-O?

You’ll both be dunked and eaten soon. Well maybe the little guy will just be popped into a mouth with no dunking.

I bet you know Dunkin’ Donuts Munchkins made from the donut hole.

Extruded donuts don’t have that problem

since it’s a hole it has zero calories so you can eat all you want

now that’s an inner child

Better to be a donut hole than an a-hole.

“You’re my center of attention.”

@15 years ago, Hardee’s had a clever commercial for their biscuit holes. One pile labeled ‘A’, another ‘B’. It ends with a guy becoming aware what he is saying as he proclaims he is just more of a B-hole kind of guy. It is on you tube.

A little fun story… when I was around 8, Dunkin Donuts had not yet discovered the benefit of selling the doughnut centers (“munchkins”), and still made the doughnuts right there, at each location. We would stop by our local shop after church, on Sundays, and while waiting to be served, would watch the baker through a large, plate-glass window, between the kitchen, and front area.He would see us, and as he was punching out the centers, he would “throw them at us,” causing us to laugh hysterically. To some, it may sound like a “big deal” moment, but to a young child, it was absolutely hilarious, and I will always cherish those moments (yeah, it doesn’t take much to amuse some people!).

Now they both can get around.

funny that they call those donut holes… I mean, the hole is nothing… there’s nothing to eat in the hole. The glob of dough that was taken out is not the hole… the hole is the empty space left behind after the dough is removed. Who do I sue for false advertising?!? (If I win, just think of all the donut holes, er, donuts, I could buy for the rest of my life!)
